Give a bottle to someone for a side by side comparison.

i won a bottle. i have been using it for the last week. so far no difference. i think the product is a combination of calcium aditive, like b-ionic, and carib sea's aragamilk, which is a disolved araganite product. i will keep you guys informed, but i dont know how long my bottle will last. the directions call for one cap full per 50 gallons, and i am using it in a 350 gallon system with about 400 lbs of rock. if i see any result i will continue using the product. i recieved a bottle of the aragamilk a while back from carib-sea and used it with pretty good results. however, the correlation may not be causal. i have heard about recepies using araganite disolved in acid which is simmilar to the aragamilk product, this would be a lot cheaper as an additive. i am currently dripping kalk as well as using the purple up. i am not sure how this or using a reactor would influence the results. anyway, sofar no adverse affects, which is more than i can say for most additives.

Someone can donate me a bottle for the 55g I just set up. It is in serious need of some coraline. I will be more then happy to test it out for you guys. :skeezy

I got the other bottle but haven't tried it yet. I've been trying to do some research before I put it in.

I was given a bottle by a Houston LFS to balance out for some bad rock I got from them -- used the whole bottle in a 29G and never really saw a difference.
